i have a 2001 bobcat 773 that shuts down when the bucket hits bottom too hard or when I’m going over ruff terrain, it starts right back up but it’s very annoying. I changed the ignition switch but I still have the same problem. Any ideas would be helpful.

First simple thing I’d check for is loose wiring - battery cables, etc.

Not sure if this applies to your year....some later models have a problem with the wiring harness pinching under the cab on the left side (when sitting in machine) of the machine. Raise the cab and look on the right side when facing front of machine.
Another well know problem that causes the same symptoms...remove the computer, clean the terminals, plug it back in.

Does it shut off instantly or snuff out slowly?
It's difficult because I can restart it right after. Hard to find a problem that goes away that quick
thanks for the advice I'll look at that. I'm pretty good at chasing wires but I need a starting point
it shuts down instantly and will restart

If you are bouncing off the seat or ahead in the seat this might be the problem .
No not that, I can raise the bucket and slam it down and it'll shut down.
